|
| 12565 | Went to Australia when he was 17. He received the nickname Wogga because as a young man he lived for a while in Wogga, NSW. Whilst in Wogga a person made fun of his Scottish accent. And so this ended up in a brawl which lasted over 1 1/2 hours. His opponent ended up the worse for wear. James served with the Australian Infantry Force (AIF) joining D Coy 17th Batt 5th Infantry Brigade, on 2 Mar 1915. After 2 months of training he embarked at Sydney for England, on the HMAT "Themistocles" on the 12 May 1915. Seems to have suffered a lot from sickness as he was transferred to hospital with dysentry, on the 26 Aug 1915. Rejoined his unit on 5 Sep 1915 Promoted to vice Corporol 24 Oct 1915. Promoted Corporal 5 Dec 1915. Disembarked in Alexandria on 9 Dec. Embarked at Alexandria 17 Mar 1916 and disembarked 23 Mar 1916 in Marseilles. Appointed vice Lance Sergeant 10 Aug 1916, promoted to Sergeant 19 Aug 1916. Attended 2 Aust. Divisional School of Instruction, Flesselles, France. Rejoined his Bn. on 15 May 1917. He was in hospital in France, from 20 Sep 1917 until 25 Sep when he rejoined his Bn. But 6 days later he was back in hospital, this time in Belgium until on 20 Oct when he was transferred to 39th General Hospital, Havre. He was discharged on 28 Nov 1917, rejoining his Bb, in France on 9 Dec. 1917. On 5 May 1918 he was selected to attend OTC in England. On 7 Jun 1918 on completion of course he was appointed Cadet. In a confidential report it states that he was "a good type of cadet. Has worked well. Should make a good officer. On 28 Feb 1919 he was a 2nd Lt. in Havre. Returned to Australia from England on 28 May 1919. Awarded the 1914/1915 Star, British War Medal and the Victory Medal. After returning from the First World War he eventually worked with Arnotts biscuit company. When Mr Arnott saw the size of him he suggested that he turn out for his Rugby Union team, Western Suburbs. This at the age of 28. He was afraid that if he did not join the team he would be sacked. Went on to become a more than useful player. Jim lived at Auburn, NSW until he was hospitalised before he died, still at Auburn. | Aitken, James (I8363)
|
| 12566 | Went to Australia with her mother. On the death of her father, in 1915, she returned to Scotland, with mother and her siblings, in 1916. By 1923 her mother had remarried and the family went to the USA arriving in the Port of New York on 1 Aug 1923. | Aitken, Margaret Hyslop (I8315)

| 12569 | When Alexander Henderson died on 24 Oct 1894 he was a Gardener and had a market garden and shop at his house | Henderson, Alexander Learmouth (I6988)
|
| 12570 | When James married, in 1882, he was aged 32. Thus he would be born about 1856, which would fit in with his siblings. In the 1891 Census his age is given as 35, thus born about 1856. When he died, in 1894, his age was given as 40 thus born 1854. There is so much conflicting information with James that I doubt a great deal of it and find previous researchers findings as suspect. The informant of the death of Ann Henderson was her son James Aitken According to the Beaverbrook researcher, James took over Wester Tartraven Farm about 1874. But he did not make a success of it. He would have only been about 19 at that time. He seems to have over extended himself and had multiple houses and farms. Once his mother died, in 1880, he became the farmer of Silvermine Farm. According to the 1881 Census, the Silvermine Farm was 120 acres, and James was employing 1 man and 1 girl. He must have been working both Wester Tartraven and Silvermine because he did not hand over Wester Tartraven's lease until 1884. Informant on the death of Geaorge mackay was his brother in law James Aitken | Aitken, James (I4950)

| 12571 | When Jeanne was 2 her mother, Janet, ran away from Jeanne's father and dumped Jeanne onto her grandfather, Lord Beaverbrook. Beaverbrook brought her up for the next 9 years, when Jeanne was sent to boarding schools. Wanting to become an actress she joined the "Old Vic". After contracting pneumonia she decided that draughty stages and cold "digs" were not for her. She joined the family business as a newspaper reporter and travelled the world with her grandfather, Lord Beaverbrook. Eventually she met the author Norman Mailer. Jeffrey Meyers, in the National Review, 26 Jul 1985, says, she was the mistress of Henry Luce the founder of "Time-Life". And this is what attracted Norman Mailer to her. Within a few months Jean was pregnant with Kate. Norman was taken to meet Beaverbrook in the south of France who liked him and so gave his aproval so Jean and Norman married in 1962. The marriage was a stormy one and was not destined to last. James Humes, the author, on being interviewed, by Brian Lamb, about his book "Ghostwriter to 5 Presidents" gives the following story; Lamb. "And then there is another story about a relative of Lord Beaverbrook.Humes. "Yes. Well, there was Lady Jean Campbell who was a kind of a - she was the grandaughter of Beaverbrook. and I was going out in - 1964 convention." Lamb. "San Francisco?" Humes. "Wa - Yea. And I was for Scranton. And I was a Legislator in the Legislature and Scranton was the Governor. I see Jacob Javits, and next to it an English voice. And so I started talking. We established friends, and she said 'Oh, my' - - she had this - - her grandfather had given her this job, she's no journalist, and what should she do? I gave her a headline. I take her to lunch at Ernie's. Now I do not know that she's married..... We just go for lunch. And we'd just ordered our first course of shrimp. Suddenly she says, 'It's my husband! He'll kill you! He'll kill you! So we went out through the kitchen, out the back door, and I never did pay for the shrimp. I mean it was Norman Mailer and I think he did actually stab some one in jealousy a couple of years earlier. She's quite a character - is quite a charcter. I guess - I mean, I think she's now in an Anglican convent. But there are rumours of her - strong rumours that she's the only person in the world who knew, biblically speaking, in one year, Khrushev, Kennedy, and Castro." After Jeanne left Norman she fled to her best friend, a southern aristocrat, John Cram, with a plantation in North Carolina. Norman and Jeanne were divorced in 1963. Between 1978 and 1988 Jeanne was "High Commissioner for the Clan Campbell Society of North America". Her marriage, to John Cram, does not seem to have been very successful either. In 1995 Jeanne said, in a newspaper article, "I think I am still married. I haven't seen him for quite some time but I have had no notification." Jeanne resided in New York. She converted from the Church of England and became a Roman Catholic. Working as a volunteer she worked for Mother Teresa's Hospice for Aids patients, in New York. Between 1974 and 1988 Jeanne was "High Commissioner for the Clan Campbell Society of North America". | Campbell, Lady Jeanne Louise (I10391)

| 12576 | When Traven was a child he accidentlly shot himself in the belly. He had tried to extract a cartridge that had failed to explode, from a pistol when the gun went off. He was considered the most brilliant of William and Jane's children. Eventually becoming a Lawyer after reading law at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In a letter from his father to Miss Judge of Roslin, written in 1910, "Traven is a lawyer in Calgary, Alberta, with a large increasing practice. He is a capital speaker, gifted in the gab and confines himself very much to pleading in the Law Courts." At age 45 he enlisted at Calgary, AB. on 17 Mar 1919, with the Canadian Army Service Corp. He then served as a Major. | Aitken, Major Robert Traven Donaldson (I7922)

| 12578 | When WWII came along William signed on as a conscientious objector and so was detailed to work in a bomb disposal unit and was stationed at Horsham, Sussex, for at least part of the time. About 1942 there was a desperate shortage of coal so he went down the mines. After the war William returned to banking before feeling the call to the Baptist ministry. He did much of his theological training through correspondence courses with London University whilst still working in the bank. His first pastoral charge was in the Shetland Islands and it was here that his son Ronald was born. Pastoring at Burra Isle Baptist Church he bought an old army jeep and converted it into a bus for church use. That vehicle plus the nurse's car and the butcher's van were the only vehicles on the island. There was no electricity and no modern conveniences on the island. Despite this the family loved the experience of living there. It must have been quite a culture shock after living in Edinburgh. His next call was to the ship building town of Jarrow in north east England, where he was the minister of Grange Road Baptist church. After 5 years there he was back in Scotland at John Knox Street Baptist Church in Glasgow. Three years later, in 1957, he was called to Canada. He accepted a call to Canada arriving in Nova Scotia in March 1957 he was called to a two point charge in Yarmouth County, south western NS. William loved the area and swore he would retire to the area. But this was not to be. In 1959 the family moved to a ministry in Oshwa, Ontario. He was only there three short years before succumbing to a heart attack. | Aitken, Rev William Niven (I7242)

| 12579 | When younger Sarah was nicknamed Sis. As she got older she thought this was a bit childish and so she changed this to Chris. No one new her as Sarah, always Chris. Chris got her first job, through her sister, Nelly. This was working as a Shop Assistant in Mr Sorley's furniture emporium in Duke St., Leith. One of the first things she bought with her wages was a radio gramophone. When she took it home her dad promptly changed it into a cabinet. He was forever modifying things. Eventually Chris went into service and became a cook. Chris was a friend of Jean Redpath (nee McCallum). One day, whilst visiting Jean at Pilton, Jean's cousin, John Gardiner came to visit. This was the first time Chris and John had met. All her married life she cared for Walter, her mentally retarded brother-in-law. Chris was very placid in nature and not very robust in health. | Aitken, Sarah Barton (I8391)
